Skinny Fat: Why Being Small Doesn’t Necessarily Mean Being Healthy

By GHCL

Skinny fat…

Sounds like a major oxymoron, doesn’t it?  And you’ve probably heard, read or even used that term before.  But what exactly does it mean?

Skinny fat is when you have a small‘ish frame but you may have excessive amounts flabbiness on your body, typically in the midsection, but can also be on the arms and in the booty/hip/thigh region.

Me, slowly but surely working towards going from skinny-fat, to fit and healthy!

When I told people I needed to lose about 10-15 lbs, they’d look at my small’ish frame and proceed to either laugh or roll their eyes at me. But they didn’t realize I was actually considered overweight at a height of 5’4″ and weighing over 150 lbs.

At least that’s what the BMI chart says, anyway. That may or may not be true, but I feel it’s ONLY if the 150+ lbs is excessive body fat, as opposed to lean muscle mass.
